Pakistan Airspace Closure Impacts Indian Flights, Increases Costs

Pakistan has closed its airspace to Indian airlines, which means flights have to take longer routes.

This is like taking a longer road trip because a shortcut is closed.

Flights from places like Delhi and Mumbai that usually fly over Pakistan now have to fly a different way, which takes more time and uses more fuel.

This will make flights longer and might cause ticket prices to go up because airlines will have to spend more money.

Airlines like Air India and IndiGo are affected.

The closure also means that planes might need to carry fewer passengers or less baggage to deal with the extra weight of fuel.

The Mumbai air traffic control is now managing more flights than usual.
